The building is a late Victorian seaside house, twinned with its neighbour, 8 de Villiers Street (which is currently being investigated with a view to a possible recommendation that it be declared). Together with the properties located at 4 & 8 de Villiers Street it forms the core of the old properties in Onrusrivier. It was for many years the sea-side house of the Krige family, well-known for their rugby, and it is said that the poet Uys Krige did much of his writing here. The garden has many ancient milkwood trees.
